I noticed that they sell ddr500 and higher ram. Now I understand for overclocking when you raise the FSB that you need ram to handle faster speeds, but who is overclocking their FSB over 50mhz? Are you guys turning down your cpu multipliers and running higher fsb rates with faster memory? I'm gonna be doing some memory intensive rendering with my new computer and I am curious if I should go this route. What kind of gains are their with DDR500 and higher? Is there any instability at all if you use properly rated ram?
